We have all seen the beautiful photos of Arlington Cemetery covered in snow with Christmas wreaths decorating each cross. But many are not aware that there is a Northern Wisconsin State Veterans Cemetery on Highway 53 near Spooner that also places these Christmas wreaths.
I come from a family of veterans with myself and four brothers having served in the Navy. Not long ago, two of my brothers were buried in this cemetery. It is a wonderful place that honors those who have served and their spouses.
People can sponsor wreaths by going to: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org and choosing this cemetery. You can also volunteer to help lay the wreaths on December 18 at 11:00 am. This would be a nice event, not only for individuals, but families and groups to do to make their Christmas extra special. Just imagine if we can make this cemetery as beautiful as Arlington and honor these veterans in a special way this Christmas.
Thank you.
